In 1915, 19-year-old Thomas Lyle Williams noticed his older sister Mabel using a homemade mixture of petroleum jelly and darkening ingredients on her eyelashes and eyebrows. Seeing how much the mixture improved their appearance gave Williams an idea for a cosmetic product that would be easier and safer to use.

Williams began experimenting and eventually started selling an eye cosmetic through the mail. He called the business Maybelline, a name traditionally said to combine his sister's name, Mabel, with Vaseline, one of the ingredients associated with the original product. The company later became especially known for its mascara and other eye makeup.

Maybelline grew from Williams' small mail-order business into one of the world's best-known cosmetics brands. The story of its beginnings has endured for more than a century, all tracing back to Williams watching his sister experiment with a simple homemade beauty treatment.
